# Overview

Workspace Analytics shows how much research content your team creates over time. Use it to understand usage trends across projects, data, highlights, tags, docs, and contacts.

***

# Open Analytics

To view Workspace Analytics:

1. Go to [Workspace settings](https://dovetail.com/settings/analytics)
2. Under General, select Analytics

If Analytics isn’t included in your plan, you’ll see an upgrade prompt instead of the dashboard.

# What you'll see

The Analytics page includes:

* A date range filter
* An object type filter
* A bar chart of objects created each month
* A totals summary for each object type in the selected range

***

# Choose a date range

Use the date range dropdown to focus on a specific period:

* This month
* Last month
* Last 3 months
* Last 6 months (default)
* Last year
* Custom range

The chart and totals update to match the selected range.

***

# **Filter by object type**

Use the filter next to the date range to choose which object types are included in the chart.

| Object type | What's counted                            |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| Projects    | Projects created                          |
| Data        | Data (formerly known as notes) created    |
| Highlights  | Highlights created                        |
| Tags        | Tags created                              |
| Docs        | Docs (formerly known as insights) created |
| Contacts    | Contacts created                          |

You can turn types on or off individually, or select **Clear** to remove all project-related types from the filter.

When a type is excluded:

* It isn’t included in the chart totals
* Its count in the summary below the chart shows as **––**

***

# Read the chart and totals

* The bar chart shows how many selected objects were created in each month of your date range
* Each bar includes a count label
* The summary below the chart shows the total number created for each object type across the full selected period

This can help you answer questions like:

* Is research activity growing month over month?
* Are people creating more highlights and docs after a research sprint?
* How much new project or contact activity is happening in the workspace?

***

# Tips

* Start with Last 6 months for a quick overview, then narrow the range if you need more detail
* Compare a few object types at a time (for example, Highlights + Docs) to focus on analysis activity
* Totals always reflect the selected date range, not all-time workspace history

***

# Need access?

If you can’t see Analytics in Workspace settings:

* Check that you’re not a viewer
* Confirm your workspace is on a Business or Enterprise plan
* Ask a workspace admin if you need access or a plan upgrade
